Whilst a series of sketches is a formulaic approach for comedians, I have seen many a comedy show at the Fringe crash and burn because one sketch goes on for too long, or has a punchline that is telegraphed way too early and obvious – that when it comes you’re so bored to laugh that you have to fake a chuckle to keep the performers happy.

Well, these Northerner’s sketches have none of that! Each one is just as funny as the last. Some are outright bizarre but equally just as hilarious.

There’s a right mix of characters and scenarios throughout: ranging from that familiar stingy Northerner that we all know and love who refuses to pay for anything, to smear tests with a whispering twist, not to mention the appearance of a major and minor celebrity, one of whom dedicates his famous farewell love song to one of the props this time around.

That and many more makes it a must-see at this years’ Fringe. It’s full of Northern goodness, like a steaming dish of Bisto as it’s poured over some Yorkshire puddings.
